Calabria: breathtaking views and generous people
Located at the toe of the Italian boot, this region is becoming a popular summer destination among Italians – but still fewer crowds if compared to other more popular Italian destinations – thanks to its unique villages and endless kilometres of beaches that border both the Tyrrhenian and the Ionian Sea. But mountain lovers will be happy too because Calabria boasts also three National parks where you can dip in pristine nature. What is more, the cost of living is a lot lower than most of Italy and people are genuine: you will experience the authentic Italian lifestyle.
